Yes, the Car Wars Compendium is finally available again, as a us$15 PDF from Steve Jackson Games. It actually came out a fortnight ago, but I don’t normally pay that much attention to SJG as most of their games I don’t play. (I made an exception for Revolution!, a recent boardgame, but that’s because it arrived in Good Games Ballarat and had good buzz on BGG).

Car Wars is another of those big games that I knew about as a teenager, but didn’t get to play much. In actual fact, I played a lot more of Car Wars than I did of BattleTech, but still – not that much. A pdf release of Car Wars is actually pretty useful for me: most of the rules you don’t really need a printed copy for; just print out a few reference sheets and design a few cars and you’re good. I can probably get some good grid paper somewhere…

So, Martin – do you have a copy yet?
